If you'd like to kick up a little dust on the ridiculous bailout bonuses here's your chance today.
Maybe the right wing blogs could work up a counterprotest in support of the poor, beleaguered folks who got these bonuses for blowing up our financial system.
By the way, I don't care about the finger pointing since we'll be hearing Harry Truman did this and Grover Cleveland did that, let's just solve the conditions that got us in this mess in the first place.
Here's the info:
First National Protests Since Bailouts Began Will Call on Congress to Take Action To Build An Economy That Works for Everyone
